American Popular Song: The John Pizzarelli Trio Pays Tribute to Harry Warren.
Today we begin Monday rebroadcasts of our series on American Popular Song. We start with part one of a two-show tribute to composer Harry Warren (1893-1981). Warren was a successful but little known songwriter who produced a number of hits during the 1930's and 40's. Some of his best known songs include: "I Only Have Eyes for You," "Lullaby of Broadway," "We're in the Money," and "The More I See You." Warren dreamed of writing for Broadway, but instead migrated west and became one of Hollywood's most prolific songwriters. (ORIGINAL BROADCAST: MAY 24, 1999)
First, We feature the John Pizzarelli Trio discussing and performing several of Harry Warren's songs. The trio is John Pizzarelli guitar and vocals, his brother Martin Pizzarelli, bass; and Ray Kennedy, piano.
